    Alabama Supra Driver's Pics

    Starkville, MS at MSU Just put another engine in with Swaintech coated pistons and rod bearings. no more blowby and piston slap!!

    Finally found out what broke...

    i've got a block that could use boring out but is otherwise VERY clean. its in MS though!

    Rebuild or Replace?

    hmmm... hone block, new rings....you will need to get crank turned if you do have rod knock and get main and rod bearings...get the block decked...shim oil pump...new gaskets and whatever else i left out that someone else can add in.

    "actually, from thermodynamics, i can tell you that the mass flow rate of oil (which is the "volume" of oil) will only reach a certain point due to the small area of the oil clearances." that is what i said. and the whole straw thing was not explained very well either in its relation to...

    swaintech coated pistons

    yeah, i NEVER said that thermo had COMPLETELY to do with anything. i brought up the first law only to show that mass flow rates are a PART of thermodynamics. figgie said that i said it was about flows but i never did. somehow he misinterpreted what i wrote, but i think what i said was that...

    swaintech coated pistons

    i have not taken fluids yet so i only have what i got from thermo to base my knowledge off of. And if i came across as being a know it all, im sorry. I only wanted to express what my thoughts were. I was looking for other peoples opinions but i did not appreciate the way that guy attacked...

    swaintech coated pistons

    i dont see anything that says im crying. you're rebuttle did NOTHING to disprove the fact that YOUR full of shit and a disgrace as a moderator. and by the way, "flow is kinetic energy", "The forms of energy that may cross the control volume boundary include those associated with the...

    i have been a supra owner since 1998, my dad is an mkii 1st owner. i did not just start messin with this crap. moderator or not, you need to cool it with me dude. even if you do feel beyond a shadow of a doubt that i am completely wrong, it gives you no right to reply with the attitude...

    swaintech coated pistons

    and about this... "thermodynamics deals with energy transfers AND tempratures you numnuts... or should i slap the living hell out of you with entropy? Oh wait no I already transferred to much of my energy to this keyboard to explain thermodynmics to your uneducated mind. Seriously.. wtf."...

    swaintech coated pistons

    i was talking to discostu... friggie, at first you said.... actually oil will flow more at higher pressure as long as the carrier (the straw) can handle the added pressure. Oil WILL still flow and more of it. But increase in flow is not proportional to the pressure. and i agree...

    swaintech coated pistons

    the turbo eclipse has oil squirters. i have seen with "me own eyes"!! i dont know if 4g63 is just used for the na block or if there is a t in it somewhere or something for the turbo block. but the turbo block has got oil squirters.

    swaintech coated pistons

    i dont know what those are graphs of, but the blue one proofs my point except for the fact that it is linear and not exponential. the two lines are two seperate graphs. the blue one, the pressure increases as the volume flow rate of oil increases(as i said) the red one is the opposite...

    swaintech coated pistons

    thanks for both of your positive posts... I searched the forum and found a few people who have done it. i also talked to a guy who owns a race shop for dsm's and he says he never uses oil squirters on his drag cars with 4g63 engines. nor does anyone he knows. i think that 9.2:1 is not a bad...

    swaintech coated pistons

    you really dont know what you are talking about: 1. dont curse at me 2. thermodynamics ( thermo= heat dynamics = changes) not energy transfer 3. bernoulli's principle applies to flow correct but flow is the VELOCITY in bernoulli's principle. the principle states that the velocity...

    swaintech coated pistons

    actually, from thermodynamics, i can tell you that the mass flow rate of oil (which is the "volume" of oil) will only reach a certain point due to the small area of the oil clearances. this is how pressure is created, no more oil can flow through the the oil gap. its like blowing through a...

    swaintech coated pistons

    look at these... they look dirty but are actually clean (the pistons too) had low oil pressure...then bolts holding the clutch fork snapped(trd pressure plate i think) and i couldnt drive until removing the engine to fix that so i just decided to do full rebuild. I will be...

    what gears do you have in the rear end? is it a na-t conversion? na-t conversions/swaps are usually quicker because of the 4.??:1 gears
